STOVE. i

Specication of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 15, 1922.

Application filed April 6, 1921. Serial No. 458,967.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that l, IVAN KrNG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, county of Los Angeles, and State of California., have invented a new and usoful Stove, of which 'the following is a specication. I

This invention relates to the manufacture of stoves, and particularly to those classes of stoves known asY gas ranges or gas plates, and to their application in the preparation of foods.

rhe present type of these stoves are furnished with burners which deliver spreading flames up and aroundthe sides of the cooking utensils, whereby a considerable wastage of heat results.

.lt is an object of my invention to provide ordinarily wasted may be used to heat an oven which is so constructed that the lheat delivered thereto is stored, thereby providing a` tireless cooker which will be in condition for use at all times whether the stove is otherwise in use or not. l

it is a further object of my invention to provide a construction whereby such anreless cooking chamber may be ,incorporatedwith a gas plate, or otherstove.

Referring to the drawing which is for illustrative purposes only and presents merely one embodiment of my invention:

Fig. 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of a stove in which one embodiment 'of my invention is incorporated, and is taken on a bent plane as indicated by the line 1-1 of Fig. 2 i

Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section 'of the stove taken on a plane represented by the line 2-2 of Fig. 1. A i

Fig. 3 is a section on a plane represented by the line 3 3 of Fig. 1. h y

Fig. 4- is a section on a plane represented by the line t-,'f of Fig. 1. y

Fig. 5 is a section taken on a plane repre-v sented by the line 55 of Fig. 1. A

Fig. 6 is an isometric line diagram illustrating the flow of heated air around the iireless cooking chamber.

Similar parts are represented by similar characters throughout the several views of the drawing.

My invention comprises essentially a plate 11, a cooking chamber 12, a surrounding heated air circulating chamber 13, and

stove inwhich the heat which is a column 14C composed of insulated walls 15 which provide dues 16 and 17`andadapted to support said lcooking chamber.

The plate 11 consists ofside walls 20 and top and bottom members 21 thereby forming a chamber22 in which are a number of burner flues 23 having located'in the lower portions thereof burners 24. lt will be noticed that as the lower part of the burner iiues the heat from the llames thereof is confined by thewalls of the iiues and directed upwardly against the bottoms ofwhatever'utensilsv 25 may be in-use. The walls 30 which form the burner flues 23 are preferably of vsheet metal through which a certain portion ofthe heat from the burners 24cis transmitted into the interior air of the chamber 22. This-interior airvbecoming heated rises within the chamber and seeks'an' outlet with theresult that it passes into the vertical flue 16 which burners are situated in the" joins withthe chamber 22 in the upper portion thereof as indicated at 31.v l

The heat circulating i chamber 13 surroundingthe cooking chamber 12 is "divided into fines for controlling the circulation of heated air by a partition centrally across the 4upper portion of the circulating chamber 13, down the rear portion` of the circulating chamber, andforwardly across the lower portion thereof dividing i same into two Furtherdivision is made by partition walls 36 which extend outwardly from positions as indicated at 37 in F ig.' 5, across the upper portion of the circulating chamber, down the sides of the chamber as indicated at 38, and inwardly across the lower portion of the circulating' chamber, dropping to the rear, as indicated at 39 in F ig. l, to include the mouth l0 of the flue l'within the forward division 50'of the chambers formed by the partition walls 36.

WithV especial F ig. 6 in which the. circulating chambers are represented by single lines and the direction of air flow indicated by arrows; the air heated by the radiation through the flue walls 30 rises through the fluel 16, as hereinbefore mentioned, and through the flue mouth 40 enters and passes forwardly and outwardly in two streams through the lower portion of the heat circulating chambers 50, rising through the side portions thereof into the upper part. Through the openings l51 wallv 35 extending p distinct parts.

Aso

formed between the ends 37 of the partition walls 36 and the partition wall 35, as shown in Fig. 5, the heated air enters the rear circulating chamber 52 and passes outwardly and downwardly through the side and rear portions into the lower portion thereof, from whence it returns through the flue 17 to the chamber 22 in a somewhat cooled condition and ready to be reheated by the radiation through the burner flue walls. lt will be perceived that the flow or' heated air around the outsi le or the cooking chamber 12 is in such a manner as to provide an equal amount of heat on both sides of the chamber as well as the introduction of heat thereinto from the bottom, top and sides.l and that a continuous circulation of heat is maintained around the cooking chamber during such times as the burners 24; in the plate 11 are in operation.

The outer walls and the door 55 oi the stove are preiierably insulated with asbestos in order that the ultimate amount o' heat may be retained within the different compartments thereof, and an economy of operation thereby attained.

l claim as my invention:

1. ln combination; walls forming an oven; walls forming a combustion space open at the top; walls forming an enclosed chamber about said oven; walls forming an enclosed chamber about said combustion space; and walls forming passages through which heated air may be transferred from said space about said combustion space to ythe space about said oven.

2. ln combination; wallsy Jorming an oven; walls 'forming` a combustion space open at the top; walls forming an enclosed chamber about said oven; walls forming an enclosed chamber about said combustion space; walls forming aA passage through which'heated air may rise from said space about said combustion space into the space about said oven; and walls Jrorming a passage tluoughv which cooled air may 'fall from said space about said oven to said space about said combustion space.

3. ln combination; walls forming an oven; walls forming a combustion space open at the top; walls forming an enclosed chamber about said oven; walls forming an enclosed chamber about said combustion space; and walls yforming two separate passages between said space about said combustion siace and said space about said oven.
